Chilwell Primary School has always set high standards and expectations to ensure our school is a safe, happy and productive environment. During 2016, the new Child Safe Standards were released and upon self reflection as a school, we are in a great place with alot of the work we have done and continue to do. We hope this page helps you and the wider community become more familiar with the Standards, what your role is within the community and how we as a school continue to work towards these standards.

Standard 7 – Further develop strategies to promote the participation and empowerment of children.

In complying with the child safe standards Chilwell Primary School includes the following principles as part of each standard:

promoting the cultural safety of Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander children

promoting the cultural safety of children from culturally and/or linguistically diverse backgrounds

promoting the safety of vulnerable children and children with a disability.

make reasonable efforts to accommodate all students

Chilwell Primary School is embedding a culture of Child Safety at the school in numerous ways already. We encourage the community to add value to any of these strategies and policies by contacting us with your ideas and feedback for improvement. Below is a snapshot of ways we have in the past, are currently and will in to the future, embed the Child Safety Standards.
